NHL Notebook: 3.29.09

Hi everyone, I'm still visiting the family up in the Poconos, but here are some stories making headlines around the NHL:

• Great story from TSN about how teams fare with and without their impact players.
  
• Gary Bettman says the Coyotes may get a new owner, but hockey will remain in the desert. The Coyotes are hemorrhaging money, I can't see why anyone would want to buy them. I also can't believe the Coyotes thought they could get a bailout from the citizens of Glendale.
• This guy put the "fan" in "fanatic"
• Here is a look at how the trade deadline pickups have worked out for each team.
• While the Islanders are almost assured of having the worst record in the league, don't hand them John Tavares just yet.
• If you hate the Canadiens, you gotta be rooting for Celine Dion here. Imagine the Habs score a goal, and the theme from "Titanic" start playing?
• Over at From the Rink, James Mirtle has a little info on the Masterton Trophy.

That's it for now guys; tomorrow I make my way back down south to the warm weather.
